Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start with fresh paneer, crumbled finely to ensure a smooth filling. Add chopped green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, and optional grated vegetables like carrots or capsicum for extra flavor. Season with salt, black pepper, and garam masala to enhance the taste. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is soft and evenly combined. A well-prepared filling ensures that every bite of your paneer paratha is flavorful and balanced.
-
Use whole wheat flour to make the paratha dough. Gradually add water and a pinch of salt while kneading to form a soft, pliable dough. Let the dough rest for at least 15–20 minutes; resting helps the gluten relax, making it easier to roll out the parathas without tearing. A soft dough is the secret to fluffy, non-sticky parathas.
-
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a small circle. Place a generous portion of the paneer filling in the center, fold the edges over the filling, and gently roll it out into a flat circle again. Ensure even thickness to allow uniform cooking. This step may take practice, but patience results in perfectly stuffed parathas.
-
Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot surface and cook until small bubbles appear. Apply ghee or oil on both sides and cook until golden brown spots appear. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling. Cooking on medium heat ensures the paratha is crispy outside but soft and juicy inside.
-
Serve hot paneer parathas with a side of yogurt, pickle, or fresh mint chutney. These parathas are perfect for a wholesome breakfast, quick lunch, or even a festive brunch.
